Hehe, never thought of it as an argument resolver but that's a cool idea. One other idea that I have already tried quite successfully was to use this as a technical phone screen tool where you codefight the candidate or ask them to do a few solo modes to see how far they get :)

Sorry, but that's a terrible idea. As a bit of recreational fun, this game is fine for. But judging candidates on their ability to speed read would exclude a lot of very capable developers (as well as potentially land you into trouble under equal opportunity employment laws given the aforementioned bias this games introduces)
